[SELF-PROMOTION] An app to track bugs, features, screenshots, and promo posts for all my apps in one place

The thing that finally pushed me to build this: I’d be testing one of my apps, spot something broken, and then… lose it. Screenshot buried in the camera roll, note half-written somewhere, idea gone by the next morning. Multiply that across a few apps and it’s chaos.

So I made Dev Notes++. The core workflow is dead simple — run your app, screenshot anything that’s off, share it to Dev Notes++ from the system share sheet, tag it as a Bug/Feature/Idea, pick a version, done. It remembers your last app for one-tap repeat captures.

Beyond that it covers the whole indie workflow:

**•**	Bugs, features, and ideas per app with version targeting and filters  
**•**	Rich text notes (checklists, inline photos, full-text search)  
**•**	A dashboard with a completion ring, 7-day activity, and per-app stats  
**•**	App Store screenshot management across 65 locales, grouped by device  
**•**	Launch post drafting with character count + one-tap App Store URL append  
**•**	Paste an App Store link to auto-fetch icon, description, rating, IAPs, etc.  
**•**	Export to JSON/Markdown/PDF/CSV, plus full backup and selective restore

It’s native on iPhone, iPad, and Mac — buy once, use everywhere, syncs via iCloud (CloudKit). No account, no tracking, no analytics, nothing touches my servers. There’s a free trial on the yearly plan, and monthly/yearly/lifetime options all unlock every feature.

Happy to answer anything about the build (SwiftUI + Core Data + CloudKit) or take feature requests.

I built an app that captions live world radio on-device — does this actually solve a real problem, or am I missing something?

I’m an indie iOS developer, and I want honest feedback from people who actually rely on captions, because I’m hearing and I know that gives me blind spots.

I made an app that streams live radio stations from around the world and generates captions on the device in real time — and can translate them into your language. The idea started as “let me understand foreign radio,” but the more I built it, the more I realized the captioning itself might matter more to people here than the translation does. Radio has basically never been accessible — no captions, ever — and I want to know if changing that is actually useful or if I’m solving a problem that doesn’t exist.

A few things I want to be straight about, because I’d rather hear hard truths now than after launch:

•	The captions aren’t perfect. It’s on-device AI transcription, so realistically it’s maybe 70-85% accurate depending on the audio — clear news broadcasts do well, heavy accents and music-over-speech do worse. I’m not going to pretend it’s broadcast-quality CC.  
•	There’s a few seconds of delay between the audio and the caption. That’s a limitation of doing it live on-device.  
•	Everything runs on the phone — no servers, no account, audio never leaves the device. That was a hard requirement for me on privacy grounds.  
•	It honors your system caption appearance settings (the size/color/font you set in iOS accessibility settings), so it should match how you’ve already told your phone you want captions to look. (Still wiring this up — wanted to know if it matters to you before I assume.)

What I genuinely don’t know, and would love input on:

1.	Is captioned radio something you’d actually use, or is radio just not part of your media life and that’s fine?  
2.	For imperfect live captions, what’s the threshold where they go from “frustrating” to “useful”? Is 80% accuracy helpful or just annoying?  
3.	What do existing captioning apps get wrong that I should avoid?  
4.	Is “shows you which words it’s unsure about” (dimming low-confidence words) helpful, or just visual noise?

Not trying to pitch anyone — it’s not even out yet. I’d genuinely rather find out now if the premise is off. If it’s useful I’ll happily share it when it launches, but right now I mostly want to know if I’ve understood the problem or if I’ve built a hearing person’s idea of what would help.

Happy to answer anything about how it works. And if this kind of post isn’t welcome here, mods please remove — I checked the rules but tell me if I got it wrong.

Thank you!

Question - Selling price too low, what to do?

Hi all!

Few guys roasted one of my apps and a general feedback was my app’s price was too cheap.

I set a lower price to attract more users but at the same time, if I’m leaving money on the table, I should do something.

Right now, my app is 1 month old, I have 40ish users (freemium), roughly 10% with subscriptions.

Should I keep the price as it is or try higher price to look more pro tools?

Thanks

New to the SaaS world. SaaS or not SaaS? That’s the question 😀

Hi all,

I’ve been cordials for a long time and wanted to try something different.

I did this domain scan tools for du e but I wonder if it’s a SaaS by definition or just a web page?

ASO Optimization

Hi all,

So far I use keywords that I think would work fine.

How do you find the right keywords? Long or short?

I’ve an app that I want to optimize because nobody seems to find it on AppStore. I have try different keywords in each version, no real conversion difference.

Conversion is good, just need better keywords

Thanks

Just launched: Dev Notes++ — a companion app for indie iOS developers

If you’re an indie dev managing multiple apps, you know the pain of keeping track of everything — bugs, feature requests, screenshots for 10 different locales, marketing posts…

I built Dev Notes++ to keep it all in one place. Some highlights:

✅ Log bugs, features & ideas per app

🔍 Fetch app info directly from the App Store (icon, description, ratings, IAPs)

📸 Organize screenshots by locale

📣 Draft and schedule marketing/social posts

📝 Rich text notes with search

☁️ iCloud sync across all your devices

📤 Export to JSON or Markdown

Free to start (up to 2 apps), with a Pro upgrade for unlimited apps and all features. One-time lifetime option available too.

Would love to hear what features you’d want in a tool like this!

Just launched a new app with IAP and a subscription.

App got rejected because screenshots were not standard, ok I understand.

My IAP and subscription switched to “Waiting for review”.

Did the screenshots modifications, resubmitted the app, it got approved and published with my IAP still at “Waiting for review”.

I had to do new IAP and subscription, insert the new id in code. Resubmit the whole thing to AppStore Connect, relink new IAP to my new build and resubmit for review.

Now, I’m waiting for the review.

Thanks for listening to my rant, I feel better now 🤣
